Hi Don,
Greatly appreciate your response Moffitt is supposed to be an excellent cancer center I would say my Husband has lost a good 20 lbs and like yourself very fatigued I am so happy to hear your doing well but thru a lot but no cancer journey is a walk in the park. I do have some questions thank you for offering. What chemo regime were you on? Were there different options? How often did you have the infusions? Did you start radiation after chemo was done? Do you know what stage/type/grade. Your story gives us hope

Hi @tbkomparda
I'm happy to answer questions as best as I can.
What chemo regime were you on?
I had 6 weeks of induction chemo fluorouracil via pump.
And I also had oxaliplatin every 2 weeks at same time.
Later I had 6 weeks of radiation 5 times a week
concurrently with chemo 5 days a week via pump.
Were there different options?
No I just went with their recommendations. I have
been very impressed staff and the results.
How often did you have the infusions?
I went in once a week and they gave me a pump that
delivered chemo for 5 days.
Did you start radiation after chemo was done?
I had 6 week of chemo only and then 6 weeks of
chemo and radiation 5 days a week.
Hope this helps. Let me know what other questions you have anytime.
Don
